Hi Playdayz. I've check the MD5 its OK. and other facets of the system seem OK.

But, in this LIve media operation, I am NOT getting same results. When I click the item showing in the playlist, nothing happens. I cannot get PMusic to play anything in the distro. If there's something you want me to try for you, PM me and I'll help..

Maybe this has something to do with something missing that would be available after a save to media and reboot. I'll give that a try and report back. Again, this is a Live media system. Not frugal or full._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

To fix it, open /usr/share/applications/gnome-mplayer.desktop and find the line that says 'Exec=gnome-mplayer %U', delete the %U, and save.

OK this worked to eliminate the error message when starting Gnome Mplayer.

Bigpup, You could try opening gnome-mplayer then Edit -> Preferences and changing the Video Output to x11, to see if it will play that DVD right, but then it probably won't do the menus right..

OK this fixed the DVD movie play.
However, I have original Lucid 528 with the multimedia 002 update test.
Gnome Mplayer in it has the Video Output set to XV and it works OK for playing DVD movie.
Also, it did not have the %U entry.

I can not say for sure I did not already have that version of Gnome Mplayer installed prior to doing the multimedia 002 update test.

Again my problem was with the 528.002
Not the M version_________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

2. Tried Pupsave Hot Backup and it appeared to work just fine.
What a great addition!
Any detail available on its operation?
I liked the way I was able to make a folder somewhere, then use the program to save the pupsave there, which is an essential feature, and thank goodness it has been included.

7. Probably no point in me being told how to fix these things at this point in time, because...
Lupu is my main OS, and I can't live without at least 1 fully functioning Lupu.
So I'll restore my previous Lupu-526, and [soon as I have time available] make a fresh lupusave on a Flash Drive, and experiment with that.

OK, I've restored Lupu-526, and the cold sweat has worn off.

Oh I 've been lost in other things and missed that feature.
Sounds very interesting indeed. I do back up saves too seldom.

The reason that I am still using Snow 5 instead of later versions is
that I know how to use a manual saving of Youtube in Snow 5 and
have not learned the modern way of doing it. I simply fail to find
my way around. Yes pemasu and others have told us how to but
I am not on that level of using cli and getting how to make it work.

okay I give 002 M a short test now and get back and report.
Being as lazy as I am now I cheated and reused an old pupsave
from 528 "secure" so most likely them are different enough to not
work well together.
So I should say nothing further. Just now I am into small folding bikes.

not an ideal solution though

Something else I found using Pmusic(on my setup).
When playing mp3's loaded from say (/my-documents),to remove a loaded file from the playlist,using right click and selecting 'Remove from playlist (mid-button)'doesn't seem to remove it..
I found that I had to use the 'Delete source button'and then answer'yes' at both prompts.This didn't appear to cause a problem.
However,what I found very alarming was,when I loaded mp3's to the playlist from a usb portable storage device,using the above method (Delete source button)literally deletes the files from the usb drive.

But, PMusic-V2.2.1 is not behaving in LUPU002M Live media system that has not been rebooted from a save session.

Note on PMusic in your other Puppy 5.2.8 version:
The Lupu528 where the 002M update PET was applied is NOT exhibiting this bad behavior in its PMusic. V2.2.0. This system has NOT been rebooted either.

BTWon another note, your hostname approach works, too! ("logoff in restart")_________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Ah-Ha, I tried to slip 2.2.1 into the updated iso, better go back to 2.2.0, eh?

Before jumping to that concluson, Iff you PM me with testing to perform for each of these 2 versions of Lupu528-002M (the complete one and the updated one), I will test them for you and report. (just recommend steps for me to follow for you)

Remember, these 2 live media systems have not been save-session rebooted, as of yet. But, for SAMBA (now installed and tested on each), Seamonkey, and JAVA apps, all seem fine.
